Would like the Council to promote as much as possible. There will be no beer served at this rodeo. There is only one item that I did not place on the letter which you have and that is we are going to by an all around saddle and a bucking saddle and it will be given away by points earned. Tolsma: You have here that a gate can be purchased for $250.00, is that advertising on there? Christenson: We'll have four gates that the animals come out of, then one catch gate. Each chute gate we'll sell for $250.00. Explained further about the signs and purchasing of the gates. We don't need any money now, but if you are interested we just need a letter of committment. ITEM#2: PUBLIC HEARING: FINAL PLAT ON MERIDIAN MANOR #6: Tolsma: At this time I will open the Public Hearing, is there a representative present for this request. Bill Briggs, Briggs Engineering, I am here representing Ed Bews & Bert Smith, the developers. Briggs was sworn by the City Attorney: Briggs: We have obtained approval of the City Engineer on the Construction Plans & we have back from him his review of the subdivision plat, and I do have a corrected subdivision plat with me and we have taken care of all the suggestions that he made in his comments and we have no problem with any of these. Giesler: Has he had the opportunity to go over those since the changes? Briggs: No not yet. I can leave a corrected copy here tonight with the Engineer and then bring over additional copies tomorrow. Engineer Smith: I certainly don't have any problem with Mr. Briggs taking care of the comments on the plat. As he mentioned the water & sewer plans have been approved and they are under construction now. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 61 1990 PAGE #2 Giesler: Nampa -Meridian also had some comments were those taken care of? Briggs: Yes those have been or will be taken care of. Tolsma: Is there anyone else who wishes to testify? Being no response, the Public Hearing was closed. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to approve the Final Plat on Meridian Manor #6: Yerrington: I think that should be amended to Gary Smith's letter. The Motion made by Giesler and seconded by Myers was withdrawn. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to approve the Final Plat on Meridian Manor #6 with making the necessary changes from the comments of the City Engineer. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #3: PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST BY INTERWEST FINANCIAL: STREET LIGHTS IN CHATEAU MEADOWS EAST: Tolsma: I will Open the Public Hearing, is there anyone who wishes to tesify? This is for putting in post lights instead of street lights, they come on at dark and go off in sunlight. The only comment that the Engineer had was to have some way to enforce burned out bulbs. Myers: Have you talked to anybody about that Gary? Engineer Smith: No I haven't yet. I picked up on a comment from Chief Bowers, when he drove through at Meridian Greens it seemed that there was a lack of light being on for one reason or another, it is something to talk about, some way to improve these lights. When all the lights are on and working it's a good thing but when light start burning out and people don't replace them it gets to be a problem.] Giesler: I think that Mr. Smith has a very good point. When all the lights work it is nice, but when all the lights are not on it's a problem. Tolsma: Being there is no one present who wishes to testify on this, I will close the Public Hearing. Moe Alidjani: There are also some areas that won't be built on and those areas are real dark. Giesler: How important is it that Interwest knows tonight on this? The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington to have the Attorney prepare the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.

This service will be discontinued 3/14/90 unless paid in full. Is there anyone present who wishes to contest their water/sewer/trash bill? Wilma Blair: Explained that she can't pay her bill, would like to know if the Council would give her until April lst to pay. Clerk Niemann: You'll pay it all on the 1st? Permission was granted until the 1st of April. Tolsma: Is there anyone else present who wishes to contest their water/sewer/trash delinquency? Due to their failure to pau their water bill or to present any valid reason why the bill has not been paid, their water shall be turned off on March 14, 1990. In order to have their water turned back on, there will be an additional fee of $10.00. They are hereby informed that they may appeal or have the decision of the City reviewed by the Fourth Judicial District Court, pursuant to Idaho Code. Even though they appeal, the water will be shut off. The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Myers to approve the turn off list with the exception of Wilma Blair. Motion Carried: All Yea: Tolsma: The total amount of the past due accumulation this month is $8,293.87. ITEM #6: APROVE THE BILLS: The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington to approve the bills. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #7: DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Engineer Smith: The Mayor asked that I bring the Council up to date on a project that we are looking at, it is the extension of the sewer along Ten Mile Creek from where it exists right now at the southwest 12th St. out at Crestwood Estates Subdivision. There has been some interest for development on the south side of the interstate at Kuna Meridian Overland Road. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 6, 1990 PAGE #4 The Flying J and Winston Moore are both interested parties and are in need of sewer. Winston Moore has another direction he can go to get his sewer, but Flying J people will have to pump their sewage to get rid of it. Both parties are willing to put in the amount of money into this extension project that they would put into the ground doing whatever else they would do to get rid of their sewage, so they would contribute those funds. I estimate that there is about $300,000.00 worth of construction costs. The Winston Moore property will need sewer by October 1st. The next thing that we need to do is to enter into an agreement with an engineering firm to have the plans prepared. In order to make the October 1st date we need to do something right away. Tolsma: What percentage would Arnold Machinery and Flying J have on the total cost? Engineer Smith: I think it would be about 20%. There was discussion. (Tape on File) The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington to proceed with the engineering. Motion Carried: All Yea: Police Chief Gordon: We have had a couple changes in the Department that I would like to let you know about. We had a promotion to Sergeant, that is Bill Musser. Also, the Detective now is Gary Cushman, Doug Weast is on Patrol now at his request. We also have appointed a School Resource Officer for the High School which is Dwight Hosford. That is all I have. Jim Johnson: We have a workshop scheduled for tomorrow night to work on our Ordinances and some changes. Crookston: There is another continuation on the City of Meridian vs. Tamera Perkins case, we will reconvene the 19th at 9:30 AM.: Yerrington: My comment is about the Sanitary Service, on Feb. 19th which was Presidents Day, Moe had 42 call backs for pickups, it seems as though not everybody takes Holidays at the same time. A suggestion is that he discontinues services and complieswith City Hall when they are closed as far as garbage pickups. Giesler: In the past at the High School the Resource Officer has been contracted with Ada County and alot of the incidents that happen out there end up going through our Department so the Police Chief, the Mayor and myself visited a little bit and we would like to get that back again and so we did go to the necessary people on the School Board and they agreed for us to contract with them again for our own people to be the Resource Officer out there again. We have had an agreement drawn up between the City and the School District and I would like the Council's approval for the Mayor and Jack to sign the agreement. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington that the Mayor and City Clerk can sign this agreement with the School. Roll -Call Vote: Myers-.- Yea; Giesler - Yea; Yerrington - Yea; Motion Carried: All Yea: MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MARCH 6, 1990 PAGE #5 Clerk Niemann: We need to approve Resolution #132, this has to be approve before we get our Grant on the Downtown.
